Abstract

The enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) gynecologic/oncology guidelines have helped integrate existing knowledge into practice and aligned perioperative care within our discipline. Despite this, many clinical departments still struggle with how to initiate their ERAS program, particularly as it relates to translating the guidelines into an actual protocol. With the goal of addressing this gap, recently Nelson and colleagues published a series of practical recommendations including ERAS order sets and instructions for both ERAS team development and ERAS program audit.
